Alliant Power's Fuel Contamination Kits: The Total Package

Prevent Costly Repairs and Downtime with the Total Package Fuel Contamination Kit

Today's high-performance diesel engines demand pristine fuel. Even the smallest contaminants can damage your fuel system, leading to expensive repairs and downtime. Alliant Power's Fuel Contamination Kits, "The Total Package", offer a comprehensive solution to protect your engine and keep it running at peak performance.

What is Fuel Contamination?

Fuel contamination occurs when foreign substances mix with your diesel fuel. Diesel fuel isn't just a fuel source; it also acts as a lubricant and coolant for the fuel injection system. When contaminants enter this sensitive system, they can cause significant damage. Common culprits include:

• Water: Condensation, leaks, or accidental additions can introduce water into your fuel tank.
• Dirt and Debris: Rust, dust, and other particles can enter during storage or refueling.
• Microbial Growth: Water in diesel fuel creates a breeding ground for bacteria and fungi, forming a harmful sludge.
• DEF Contamination: Accidentally adding Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) to your diesel tank can cause severe damage.

Recognizing the Signs: Is Your Fuel Contaminated?

Ignoring fuel contamination can have serious consequences for your diesel engine. Be vigilant and watch out for these common signs:

• Clogged Fuel Filters: Are you replacing fuel filters more often than usual? This is a telltale sign of contaminated fuel.
• Engine Performance Issues: Experiencing a loss of power, rough idling, difficulty starting, or unusual exhaust smoke? These are all potential indicators of fuel contamination.
• Poor Fuel Economy: If you're getting fewer miles per gallon, contaminated fuel could be the culprit.
• Tank Corrosion: Rust and corrosion in your fuel tank often indicate long-term contamination.

The Domino Effect: Consequences of Ignoring Contamination

Contaminated fuel can initiate a chain reaction of damage within your fuel system. Here's how it unfolds:

• Fuel Injectors: Contaminated fuel first attacks the fuel injectors, causing the delicate valves to deteriorate. This reduces fuel pressure and volume, leading to incomplete combustion and increased soot generation.
• Engine Control Unit (ECU): To compensate for the reduced fuel flow, the ECU increases the fuel load, further stressing the system.
• Fuel Pump: The fuel pump, working harder to push contaminated fuel through clogged filters, is also at risk of premature failure.
• Fuel Rails: Debris can accumulate in the fuel rails, restricting fuel flow and potentially causing damage.

Ignoring these issues can lead to:

• Increased Repair Costs: Replacing individual components can quickly become expensive.
• Extended Downtime: Extensive repairs can keep your vehicle off the road, impacting productivity and your bottom line.
• Reduced Engine Lifespan: Long-term exposure to contaminated fuel can cause premature wear and tear, shortening the life of your engine.
